W123 Diesel manual gearbox gurus where are you?
G'day Folks,
Does anyone happen to know if all 717.400 5 speed gearboxes are / were made by Getrag? Or were the ZF ones also given that number? How can I tell the difference between a ZF and a Getrag? Having never seen one (you see?) I'm forced into asking these daft questions... ...I'm guessing the answer to the last question will be one has the ZF logo and the other has Getrag written on it but hey just in case there's another way...

ZF didn't make 5-speeds for the W123, only for the W114. All 5-speeds for the W123 were made by Getrag. The 4-speeds were made by Getrag and ZF. The 300D only had the ZF, because of the better quality of the ZF transmission.
The shape of the transmission is different. The ZF is a humpback, whilst the Getrag has a flatback. |

PS do you want a lead for a really cheap 5 speed quite close to you - well possibly close to me?

Thanks for the offer, but a 5-speed under a 200D doesn't make sense. And cheap ones are usually bad ones, although they can be overhauled of course. |

In this case I think the so called expert doesn't know what he's got.
